Finb/Bark

Bark is an iOS application designed for managing and displaying push notifications, featuring support for multiple servers and encrypted message handling. The system processes incoming notifications through a modular pipeline that handles decryption, markdown formatting, and auto-copying, while storing message history locally using Realm. It provides a modern MVVM-based user interface with grouped message lists, widgets, and Siri Shortcuts integration for sending notifications.
